OpinioDs of Prohibitionists

NEW YORK. Dec 1L-John Lloyd Thomas. of
Baltimore. during address before the Man
haitian Temperance Association, this evening,
uttered these opinions: 'Cowardice prevents
the people of New York from taking stand
against the saloon evil. The Repub lican party
is keeping UP rock and rye. Both the old
parties corrupt" He denounced the foreign
element in this country, and also DR.. Howard
Crosby for insincerity.
Senator A FL. Colquitt, of Georgia addressed
the American Temperance Union at Chickering
Hall to-day. He emphatcaily declared that
prohibition was not dead IN Georgia, despite it's
recent defeat and he equally sure there
would be compromise in his State.

Ben Hogan's Services.

Ben Hogan talked to three hundred people in
the Y. NJ c. A. Hall last night, and in his i'm
pressive way pictured the distressing lives of
men who live in SIN. He took for his text the
story of the prodigal son. He said that perhaps
but few men had come in contact with many
prodigal soma as he. The country was full of
them. A man who had never associated with
the lower classes would be surprised by the
number of young profit gates he would find there.
Like the prodgal of the Bible, they. becoming
tired Of home. had gone ous into the world to
have good time and as they perhaps believed,
make money. THE trouble with most young
men is that they have too much conceit." con-
ttinued he. mo matter how smart young
IMAM is he will always find some smarter
than himself. He needs to have the concet
taken out of him as it was taken out
of the prodigal There is time in the
history of nearly all men when they come to
themselves, and this the prodigai son did. There
are men, though. who are so bound down with sin
that they never the light of heaven. IL
have had men come to me and say i was raised

ARE many other men in the saloon business and

Had they been brought up in the right way,
what noble Christian men they might have

good workers we would get if we could get those
men into the church. But you will never get

RUSTY Oranges.

the Latin auraUtium from aurum, gold
and the idea of an orange of any other
than golden Co!or is like that of Loop

terranean orange is almost always of a
bright golden yellow, large proportion
of the oranges grown III Florida are COW
cred with a brown rust which much de
preciates their market value. even though
it does not impair their sweetness and
flavor.
Some who have looked for the cause of
this unfortunate discoloratiOn declare
that it is produced 10y minute fungous
plants, similar To those which form mil
dew, smut, mould, etc. Others assert
that this rusty appearance is caused by
the oxidized sap which exudes from the
rind through punctures made i'll it by
microscopic mites Ike spiders AMI the
latter is the prevailing theory ut present.

Weekly Excursion Train.

The PalaIka Board of Trade is at work
trying to induce the Florida Southern
Railway to put on a weekly excursion
train to run from, say Hawthorn to Pa
latka, in the morning and return at
night, the fare to be one price for the
round trip. We are glad to state that
the prospect is good for such train to
be put on the road, to run either on
Wednesdays or Saturdays of each week,
1t would be a great accommodation to
the people along the line who have bust
ness in Palatka, and no doubt hundreds
ran. Those moving in the matter are sat
isfied that it will be the means of increas-
ing the business of the city to an appre-
ciable extent.
The low rates inaugurated by the
steamer Georgia sometime since has re-
suited in building up large and grow
ing trade up the river, and the railway
scheme, we hope, will prove as success
full.
The people of Spring Garden, just be
yond Drayton Island, since the with
drawal of all the boats on the river, with
the exception of the III. b. Plant and the
City of Jacksonville, are practically cut
off from the outside world, and some
times it is from eight days to three
weeks before they can get goods ordered.
An effort is now being made to have the
steamer Georgia. run there, instead of
stopping at Drayton Island. Last month,
we are informed, there were 1900
packages of freight taken up or
left there, volume of business that
would certainly pay the steamer.

0yOyernOr Perry'S Reasons.

As announced in our special kilograms
few days since, Governor Perry vetoed
the bill incorporating the Palatka Saw
ings Bank and Trust Company, and he
gives his reasons for so doing in the fol
lowing veto message:
EXECUTIVE OFFICE,
TALLAHASSEE, FLA, June 13, 1887. !
Honorable President of the Senate:
SIR-The bill entitled an act to incOr-
pOrate the Palatka Savings Bank and
Trust Company, which originated in the
Senate. and was presented to me at the
close of the session on the Sd day of June,
present, fails to meet my approval. The
bill, without any pretense or shOwsof
security to those whom it would invite
to become depOsitOrs, without even a
requirement that the subscriptions to the
capital stock should ever be paid in
or in any wise be secured, proposes to-
provide not only a savings bank and
safe depository for the funds of individ-
ual Especially of those of limited in
comes and small earnings whose losses
would entail certain sufferings) but to
provide means by which executors,
administrators, guardians, and other
trustees, and even public officers, could
shift all responsibility for the funds of
helpless cestuies 4ui trust from them
selves to what might, SO far as this bill
provides. be a totally irresponsible cor
poration. l can hardly conceive of leg
islation more dangerous to interests pc
culiarly entitled to all the protection
which the law can throw around them.

vile, s. c., two pieces of the water oak
limb on which the five negroes recently
lynched in South Carolina were hung.
1t will be remembered that the negroes
were members of a gang organized for
the purpose of robbery and murder. and
when caught stealing cotton by a little
white boy they foully murdered him.
Accompanying the pieces was this note:
This is part of the limb on which

A NEW BRIDGE.


The ST. Johns and Halifax Railroad to
Come into Town.
Mr. U. J. White, president of the St.
Johns and Halifax Railroad, has deter
mined to bring the trains of his road
into Palatka, and make this city the ter
minus of that road. To this end a mag
nificent drawbridge is to be built across
the river from Rolleston, the present ter
minus, to the west shore and across the
swamps to the Jacksonville, Tampa and
Key West Railway track, which will be
used in coming into the city.
We learn that the contract for all the
piling has been let, and that Mr.. L. A.
Darby, owner of the Devils Elbow mills,
has the contract for furnishing the tim
Der and lumber, and is now at work get
ting it out The bridge will be framed
at Devils Elbow, and the workmen are
there now busily engaged.
Col. S. B. Coster, one of the best
railroad engineers in the country, will
superintend the erection of the bridge,
which is a guarantee that the work will
be well done.
1t is rumored that the office of the st.
Johns and Halifax road will be with the
Jacksonville, Tampa and Key West
Railway offices until such time as the
grand union depot is built. 1t is also
rumored that the st. Augustine and Pa
latka Railway will run up to Rolleston
and cross the river on the same bridge,
or else construct one for its own use, in
order to connect with the Florida South
ern road.
But the bridge at ROllestOn is fact.
The money is in hand to pay for it and the
men in charge never do things by
halves or slowly, so by the opening of
next seasons business the st. Johns and
Halifax trains will run into Palatka.
